| Summary | "Cadio" by George Sand is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the turbulent backdrop of the Vendée during the French Revolution, exploring themes of social conflict and individual morality amidst the chaos of civil war. The opening introduces various characters, including Cadio, the Marquis de Saint-Gueltas, and families entangled in the struggle, portraying the tensions between loyalty to the monarchy and revolutionary ideals. At the start of the story, the setting is established in a grand salon at the château de Sauvières, where a discussion among family members reveals their differing views on the ongoing conflict and the relevance of the monarchy. The Count de Sauvières expresses skepticism about the royalist cause, while his daughter, Louise, finds hope in a potential uprising. Following tense exchanges, news of the arrival of armed insurgents, led by the enigmatic Saint-Gueltas, heightens the suspense. The characters grapple with their loyalties and fears, setting the stage for increased conflict and personal dilemmas as they confront both external threats and internal divides within their own beliefs.
